Itunes Setup file won't start up - please please help!

hi, i recently reformatted my computer and once downloaded the latest version of itunes i can't get it to start the installation
i click on the setup file, the hour glass flickers, then nothing
i've downloaded from different browers heaps of times and i tried to use an older setup file version of itunes and still the same thing
can anyone please help, i have no idea what could be going wrong!???
thanx

Normally it is not a good idea to put your PowerBook to sleep whilst there are external drives still attached. It is best to eject/unmount any external peripherals prior to putting the PB to sleep. What is also not a good idea is to force it to shutdown in the manner you have described.
The first thing I would try is a PMU reset.

Is there an error message when you try to launch the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe)? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

ITunes and QuickTime won't start

Hi!
The problem is that I've installed iTunes, everything went fine, but when I'm trying to start it with iTunes.exe, it won't start.
I can see iTunes.exe in the task manager, for about 5 seconds, and then it disappears.
The same happens with QuickTime player(I don't really care about QuickTime but I thought it can help solving the problem).
I know there is a lot of topics about this on the internet, and yes I've googled it, but nothing solved my problem.
I tried a lot of things already:
* start iTunes.exe with administrator rights
* start iTunes.exe with XP and Vista compatibility modes
* reinstall iTunes with XP and Vista compatibility modes
* uninstall iTunes (and any other apple software), clean any leftover iTunes registry entry, and then reinstall everything again
* boot my windows 7 in safe boot mode, and try to start iTunes.exe
* turn off bonjour service then restart computer and try to start iTunes
* create a new user account, login and try to start iTunes
Nothing helped on Windows 7 32bit, though I have a Windows XP installed as a Virtualbox guest(the host OS is linux), and there is everything works fine, but I would like to use Windows 7.
I had the same problem with the previous version of iTunes. Now I'm trying to install the latest iTunes downloaded from the Apple's site.
I would really appreciate any suggestions!
Regards,
Ferenc Nagy
p.s.: Sorry for my english, I hope you can understand me!

Many thanks. Yes, let's first try uninstalling the ACE pack and seeing if iTunes will launch now.
If iTunes doesn't launch, the pack may have left behind old QuickTime version 6.x componentry in unorthodox locations in your Windows 7 system files. So we'll go looking for that.
First we'll adjust some view settings on the PC.
1. From the Start menu, click Computer.
2. In the Organize menu, click Folder and Search Options.
3. Click the View tab.
4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected, and the "Hide extensions for known file types" option is unchecked.
5. Click OK.
Now, in Computer, open your C drive (or whichever drive your operating system is installed on).
Open the "Windows" folder.
Open the "System32" folder.
What files or folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the file or folder name? (In a standard installation of QuickTime, you should see precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

Not Enough Memory typically refers to RAM. How much RAM do you have on your 64-bit OS computer? Do you have other programs running that may be using most of the memory?

ITunes U files won't transfer

iTunes U files won't transfer from my macbook to my iPhone 5 or my iPod Classic.
Is it just not possible? I'd rather not listen to these with a computer on my lap.
Thanks for any assistance offered.

Apparantly I didn't dig deep enough into my iPod. It is showing up in Playlists. I had to go tell it to sync manually on a menu option in iTunes I couldn't find before.
Now, to try my iPhone!

ITunes library file won't load

*iTunes won't open my library file.*
The library is about five years old. I started it on a WinXP computer then moved it to my Mac, and it now lives on a USB/FireWire external drive formatted as FAT32.
I've been accessing the drive over the network via AFP, with the drive physically connected to my home server via USB.
Last week I connected it to my Mac via FireWire last week for faster access. iTunes reported most but not all of the songs as on a missing network share with the same drive name. All the MP3s are there.
*Now, iTunes won't open the library at all -- it's greyed out when I try to select it.*
Opening the default iTunes library on my Mac works fine, and I'm still using iTunes 7 so it's not a compatibility issue.
*Rebuilding the library from the XML file won't work* either, because only about 3K of my 20K+ songs show up if I do that.
Now what? I need the iTunes library for a DJ gig coming up. Please help.

This issue persists whether the drive is accessed via AFP network or FireWire.

Photoshop 7 setup.exe won't start

Hello everyone !
Thank you for reading my question and taking some time to help me. Much appreciated
I have some troubles with my photoshop 7. When I click on the exec setup file, it starts and then stops. Nothing happens, no window, no error message, just the exec doesn't launch.
The setup exe seems to be running in the task manager but appart from this, zero.
I've tried the administrator mode, the XP compatibility mode, the installation files copied on the C drive, ... nothing works.
I'm running a Windows 7 64 bits system, 8GB ram, and an SSD drive on C:.
Could someone help me with this issue ?
I've looked into the previous discutions on this website about similar issue but it was on different versions of Photoshop.
If my question has been already asked, please forgive me as a first-time user of the adobe community !
Best regard

See the following, especially the last entry in case it will save you the trouble of wasting your time:

Restart your computer,
Refer steps here to delete SC files:

Then proceed to repair your QuickTime. START / CONTROL PANEL / Programs n Features / highlight QUICKTIME and click CHANGE then REPAIR.

I deleted my extensions manager and now my Mac won't start up. Please Help!!

I have an IMac, 24" model, running OS X. For the past several days, little warning windows have been popping up with this annoying beep, telling me that my computer was infected with various viruses. 4, to be exact. Also, while on the internet, random pop-up windows have appeared, so I thought I did have a virus. So, to correct the matter (or attempt to), I deleted my preferences folder from the system folder, as well as the extensions manager.
Now, the computer won't start up past the white logo screen with the turning gear thingy. I've tried resetting the PRAM, and starting in safe mode, and safe mode with the progress screen, and even something there while holding the option key (that one gave me an icon of my HD, but clicking on it took me back to an endless wait on the white screen). I've tried starting from the disk that came with the computer (I held the C key) but not only doesn't the computer start from the disk, it spits the disk out. I don't understand. The computer was fine until I deleted the ext. mgr and preferences, so it can't be that the computer went bad or something.
I don't know what else to do here. I do have an extended service warranty with Best Buy, but I wanted to see if there was some way to fix this before hauling this thing off to the store. Any suggestions? I'm desperate here, because anything and everything I've tried (based on all the try-this and try-thats I found on the internet), nothing has worked.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Well done! You've succeeded in turning your Mac into a useless brick.
Deleting the System/Library/extensions folder and the associated manager removed most of the functionality from your OS.
And all to get rid of what sounds like the MacDefender trojan or a variant.
ref; http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4650 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4651
You may have a slim chance of recovering if it will still boot in Target Disc Mode; in which case you can use another Mac to install the system remotely.
And I doubt your warranty with Best Buy is going to cover user "error."
